‘The One’

My Darling…
I hope me often expressing how I feel does not lessen the words. When I say “I love you”, my heart happily overflows, my eyes twinkle with joy and my soul feels the peace of knowing I am where I should be. You’re ‘the one’ for me.

lovers-hd-wallpaperRomantic writer and poet Yarne Gaskins
Every time I say I love you…
I’m really trying to say so much more than those three little words.
I’m trying to say you mean more to me than anyone else in the world.
I’m trying to let you know that I adore you
and that I cherish the time we spend together.
I’m trying to explain that I want you and that I need you
and that I get lost in wonderful thoughts every time I think about you.
And each time I whisper I love you,
I’m trying to remind you that
you’re the best thing that has ever happened to me.

So Much More

My Love…
You are my best friend; my shoulder to lean on; the one person I know I can count on. You’re the love of my life; you’re my one and only; you’re my everything that I dreamed of and more… so much more.

From “Perfection in my Eyes” by Ashley Borden
tumblr_mhmvnfn0OP1r2ve0mo1_500All I ever wanted
was to be part of your heart,
And for us to be together,
to never be apart.
No one else in the world
can even compare,
You’re perfect
and so is this love that we share.
We have so much more
than I ever thought we would,
I love you more
than I ever thought I could.
I promise to give you
all I have to give,
I’ll do anything for you
as long as I live.

Because We Love Each Other

It’s no longer clear exactly who I was or what I felt before we fell in love. Nothing much has really changed, yet everything is better because we love each other. My dreams seem more possible than ever before.

East Indian writer and poet Ritu Ghatourey
vintage-antique-heart-pocket-watch-chain-necklace-gift-4f65aeditI will love you always…
When your face is full
of the lines of every smile
you have ever smiled,
of every surprise
I have seen flash
through your eyes,
when every tear
you have ever cried
has left its mark
upon your face,
I will treasure you
all the more,
because I was there
to see it all.

All I Can Do Is Hope

My Love…
There is space between us right now. Stepping back to take stock of things is healthy for both of us. Already I know my feelings for you are even deeper than I thought before. All I can do is hope you are making similar discoveries.

Lebanese artist, poet, and writer Kahlil Gibran
E114A67AE2BDD011E3EC68C9E7DF1 longLet there be spaces
in your togetherness,
and let the winds of
the heavens dance
between you.
Love one another but
make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a
moving sea between
the shores
of your souls.

A Million Tiny Little Things

My Darling…
When you are away for even a day, there is no explaining how my heart leaps with happiness upon seeing you again. My world is incomplete without you in it. Plain and simple, I love you without reservation and need you beyond any doubt.

Spoken by Tom Hanks in the movie “Sleepless In Seattle”
Affectionate coupleIt was
a million
tiny
little
things
that,
when
you added
them all up,
they meant
we were
supposed
to be
together
…and
I knew it.

Their Life’s Journey

My Darling…
The future offers no certainty except the hope I place on it. There in the prospects of what might be I find faith for what will become of us: a man and a woman deeply in love who become a family and share their life’s journey.

American romantic poet and author Coco J. Ginger
want11-378x414I love you,
with no beginning,
no end.
I love you
as you have
become an
extra necessary
organ in my body.
I love you..
Wanting nothing
in return, except
that you allow me
to keep you here
in my heart…

Start of Our First New Year Together

My Darling…
Last night will be remembered as magical; you in a long flowing dress; me in black and white. At the ball we partied, danced, ate, smoked cigars on the terrace and fell deeper in love; a sweet start for our first new year together.

East Indian writer and essayist Ritu Ghatourey
2014 BrowningWhen we are in a
truly loving
relationship,
we receive the gift
of being known
and accepted.
We become more,
not less,
of who we are.
We receive
the space
in which to bloom.

Sharing the Days

Sweetheart…
How could I have known our first holidays together would accelerate the growth of my love for you? Sharing the days together and being accepted by your family brought happiness I am unable to adequately thank you for.

American artist and writer Robert Sexton
DramaFreeChristmasssedirtsIn a time
when nothing
is more certain
than change,
the commitment
of two people
to one another
has become
difficult and rare.
Yet, by its scarcity,
the beauty
and value
of this exchange
have only been
enhanced.

The Moon Coming Up Each Night

My Darling…
Often I wonder what will become of ‘us’, but every time I do the same answer comes: somehow, someway we’ll be together. Our love feels as certain as the sun rising each morning and the moon coming up each night.

From “The Five People You Meet in Heaven” by Mitch Albom
your kissPeople say
they ‘find’ love,
as if it were
an object
hidden by a rock.
But love takes
many forms,
and it is
never the same
for any man and woman.
What people find then
is a certain love.
And [he] found
a certain love with [her],
a grateful love,
a deep
but quiet love,
one that he knew,
above all else,
was irreplaceable.

My Everything

My Dear…
I’m like a kid whose wish was granted; you! We’ll soon start a new year together in love with great hopes for the future. You are my light and dark; my day and night; my moon and sun; my everything.
